<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Is this the fellow from Haas? Contacted me and I lost the
address. Hopefully this is the same person. My favorite story from this sort
of venue comes from Columbia Business School and is the brainchild of
Shrikuma Rao. Shrikuma put together a program which could have the title (mine
not his) "So you have now done Business School -- now what about the Business of
your life?" It is a regular course with lots of challenging reading and
discussion and a feature is a weekend Open Space. When I did it, the theme was,
"What are you going to do for the rest of your life?" The Os has now become a
regular part and they do it themselves (one more thing not to do). Over the
years (I think the program is about 5 years old) it has filled out every time it
is offered. As a matter of fact the last time I talked to Shrikumar he said they
receive 4 applications for every one they accepted. In addition people from the
Law School, and the School of International Relations have come in. The Dean
apparently doesn't like it, and has tried repeatedly to shut it down. Every time
he tries a large delegation of graduates descend on his office. So far it
continues -- to the best of my knowledge.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Another vignette -- A group of Business School Deans and
CEOs has been working for the past several years on "Preparing Globally
Responsible Leadership" under a grant from the EU. Their last meeting where they
were attempting to pull everything together and figure out where to go next
was in Open Space -- when they told me was the only way they could deal with the
diveristy of opinion/egos/agendas and get anything done. Seemed to work. Took
place this April at INSEAD -- French Business School.
Fun.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">I am talking with the
business school at a university about using OS for a large networking event,
to bring together students at all levels of the business program (from folks
very new to the program to those with advanced business degrees; from
executives who have graduated from the program to current students) and also
members of other schools at the university (engineering, energy, and other
diverse programs).</SPAN></FONT></P>

‘gets’ that OS can work with anyone. But / and he’s thrilled that I am
part of this rich global community of practitioners and would love to hear
other stories of how OS has been used in similar ways or similar settings –
what was the situation, who were the constituents, and what were the
accomplishments.</SPAN></FONT></P>
